Background
On January 19, 2021, the parties notified the court that they had reached an agreement in principle resolving all issues. The order does not describe the underlying claims or the terms of that agreement.
Order
The court canceled all previously scheduled conferences and other deadlines. It dismissed the case with prejudice and without costs, including attorneys’ fees, to either party. The clerk was directed to terminate all open motions and close the case.
The order permitted the parties to apply to reopen the case within 30 days. The application had to show good cause for keeping the case open despite the settlement, and the order warned that a late application or one without a showing of good cause could be denied on that basis. The parties could also ask the court to retain jurisdiction—the court’s authority—to enforce their settlement agreement, but they had to submit the agreement and request that authority within the same 30-day period.
Judge’s Ruling
Judge Valerie Caproni entered the dismissal and related directives. The order resolved the case procedurally based on the parties’ reported agreement; it did not decide the underlying legal claims.
